BROOKLYN, Jan. 23.-The Rev. L.
Dewitt Talmage's sermon to-day was
preached at the reception of $50 new
members, making the communicate
membership Of the Brooklyn tabernacle
$3.50. 1t was a day memorable in the
history of the church. The reverend
doctor't text was Isaiah Tx, viii:
.Who are these that fy as a cloud, and as

He preached rs follows:
When God would set fast a beautiful
thought He plants it in a tree; when
He would put it ailoat He fashions it
into Il fish; when He would have it
glide the air He moulds it into n bird.
There is to many of us complete fas-
cination in the structure and habits Of
birds. The blackbird floating like n
flake of darkness through the sunlight;
the mcadowlark with head Of fawn and
throat of velvet and breast of gold; the
red iiamingo flying over the southern
swamps like sparks from the forge
of the setting sun; the pelican, white
and black, morning and night tangled
in its wings. They seem not more of
earth than heaven, ever vacillating be-
tween the two. No wonder that Audi
bon, with his gun, tramped through
all the American forests in search of
new specimens. Biologists have spent
years in finding the track of n birds

A SEASIDE FILTRATION

With trembling hands, she slowly penned

Those gipsyings with fern-hlled basket
Must join the dear delights of yore
And only live in memory's casket!
There never was heart like ia ks:
He told his passion in his glances
She sealed her note with scented wax,
But could not drown her dismal fancies
When he should read his suit denied,
So long the theme of idle gazers,
She pictured him a suicide,
And shuddered at the thought of razors!
At last she slept-but not till dawn
Had blossomed through the ocean vapors.

Tho Powerful Medicinal Properties of
Soda and Common Table-Salt.
The power of the soda used in cook
ing to relieve the pain of burns is now
extensively known. Its usefulness is
enhanced by its being so common as to
be usually within reach. Somewhat
akin to this is the efficacy of table-salt
in certain forms of inflammation. 1t
is remedy that finds place in nearly
all countries and households. But the
very fact that these articles are so IA
miliar in domestic use makes it difficult
to regard them as powerful remedies.
1t would be quite otherwise if they were
rare, and could be obtained only of the
druggist. 1t may not be amiss, there
fore, to refer to what is marvellous in
their chemical composition.
The base, or fundamental element,
in each is the same-a most wonderful
metal, which burns with an intense
flame when heated to temperature
twenty-five degrees less than that of
boiling water. This metal is sodium.
Combined in the proper proportion
with carbonic acid-the gas thrown off
from burning coal-and ''soda," or,
more properly. hi carbonate of'soda, is
produced. Let it combine with chlor-
inc, which forms, in chemical union
with lime, one of our most powerful
disinfectants, and we have the familiar
salt of our tables.
1t should be impressed on the minds
of our readers that there is the highest
medical authority for the statement
that there is nothing better than COM
mon salt for any ordinary inhamma-
ton of the throat, mouth or nasal pas
sagcs. Dissolve dessert spoonful in

ted over the little face, the eyes closed
again. and I had had the last look. the
last word, the last smile l ever had
from my darling.
But that one look and one word con-
soled me. and helped me to bear the
thought of the separation. The fount
of my tears was unsealed, and went
then; wept as weakly as any woman,
while Jennie mingled her tears with
mine.
Cynics may sheer at tears rs befit-

is one of Heavens best gifts to man, as

for man. being the only animal cara-
bic of emotions that might prove in;m-
zeal to reason, is the only one to whom
is given the power of venting his over
wrought feelings through the medium
of tears; and am not ashamed to
thank Heaven for the ability to weep.
Only those who have lost an idosized
child can realize how asonized were
the tears we shed over our darling
when, two days later. we laid her away
in her spOtless grave-clothes, the love-
ly violet eyes. covered by their long
silken lashes, never to unclose again;
the tiny, waxen hanes folded on the
pulseless breast; the prattle of tho lit
tie tongue. the patter of the little feet
hushed and stilled forever. Mingled
with my grief was the sting of remorse.
that gives the sharpest edge to all sOr-
row.
Mine was the bitter thought that the
last conscious day of our darling on
earth had been darkened by angry
frowns and bitter upbraidings. which
her sensitive nature keenly felt,
though her baby wisdom may have
failed to comprehend; and as l clasped
and kissed my sweet wife beside the
little bier. l mentally vowed never
again to let some trivial grievance
cause me to forget my manhood.
We have another darling nova
romping. rollicking. brown-eyed. red
checked little creature, and we love
her dearly; but she can never fill the
place in our hearts that once belonged
to our fair, pure, sweet, sensitive little
Ellie.
The miserable old coat over which
allowed myself to fly into such sense
less passion l gave to the first beggar
that would take it out of my sight,

FROM FLOWER TO FRUIT.

In violet time, fresh violet time,
Up to the bank alone I climb,
Till my teardrops rest on purple flower,
And my heart beats happier from that
hour

And face behind the lilac bush,
A warm, soft hand and distant chime,
As We walk the fields inViolet Time.
In rosebud time, sweet rosebud time,
Up the bank with Mag / climb;
] pick a leaf as my love speak,
And read my answer on her cheek
A rosy yes, like the petals flush,
And then silent, blissful hush.
Till the prose of life is turned TO rhyme,
And the poem begins in Rosebud Time.
In cherry time. ripe cherry time,
Up the bank we gayly climb;
Dear little hands are picking flowers,
Deity fashioned after ours;
Sweet voices echo back our words,
Like parrots or like mocking birds;
And cheVy stains are on our lips,
While Harry pulls and baby sips;
And the fruitage of life we taste as we climb
The orchard hill in Cherry Time.

The Fishery TrOUbIps.

The House committee of foreign affairs
has reported unanimously on the fisheries
question, and offered bill authorizing the
appointment of commissioner by the
president. The report contains some Wig
orous language and is certainly TO the
point. 1t says that American fishing yes
sells have been denied privileges accorded
to vessels of other nations, and that the
reason OF this is frankly stated by Canada
TO be; First, the punishment Of such YES
sells because the United States levies dutv
on Canada fish not fresh for immediate
consumption, such as the government
leyies on all such fish and not the produce
of American fisheries and imported from
any foreign place whatever; and, secondly,
to coerce the United States to exempt such
Canadian fish from all customs duties,
and to enter into other new reciprocal Gus
toms relations with the Canadian Domin-
ion and Newfoundland. 1t is policy of
threat and coercion which, in the opinion of
the committee, should be instantly and
summarily dealt with.
In both Senate and House there are
measures pending which will stop the
transit of Canadian engines and cars over
United States territory, and speedily bring
England to terms.
We can If SO disposed drive the people
of New Brunswick, and in fact most Of
Canada, into rebellion by severe restrictive
measures on their commerce, but the game
Is not worth the candle, aud though the
people Of that part of the Dominion which
Is most vitally affected by the fishery dis.
pute, sympathize strongly with us in the
matter; yet they are at the mercy of their
government, and until it recedes from its

though the present amazing exhibition Of oil
and gas wells may last for ten or twenty
years, it is geologicslly and historically " a
temporary and vanishing pheuomeEon--one
which young men will live to see come

would surely take is place and would be
superior to the natural article because less
variable. The last number Of the sanitary
Engineer has an exhaustive and profusey

markable for the profuseness Of language
that says nothing. 1t is smooth language,
and 1t seems pity that so many good
words should be thus wasted. The speech is
Characteristic of Governor Beaver and af-
fords good indication of the style of the
man. Judging from it, we should say that
he will be found very pleasant governor
Easily accessible to every one and extremely
affable. he will sorely lack positiveness OF
opinion and action. His address is very
notable for the inconclusiveness OF
its arguments. The orator starts IN
bravely with intent 10 deliver his
opinions, but shortly finds that he has
none that he cares to express just now,
at least. and he brings himself up with
a sudden jerk, declaring that the subject is
full Of food for thought, aud that at a
more opportune time he may take occa-
sion TO express his conclusion upon it.
Governor Beaver concluded every topic
he touched in this style and abundantly
showed that whatever his qualities are,
boldness, independen ce and positivenes
are not among them. Governor Beaver
may not do everything that anybody asks
him to do, however he may give them the
impression that he is going to do it but
If he ever says no, point blank, to any one,
he will strain his constitution fearfully
with the effort.
And this impression we take from his ad.

show itself readily in written thought.
